  • Abstract
    Engineering faculties generally involve their students in the creation of numerous scientific works and publications. However, students are rarely trained in this area and could well benefit from targeted support: to this end, we propose a specific lecture that addresses the subtleties of scientific research and writing and allows the students to apply and mentally anchor their acquired knowledge while composing a basic scientific term paper.
